Removing broadside null of symmetric long‐slot antennas by using a coating layer

Abstract This study presents a new concept in the design of symmetric long‐slot leaky‐wave antennas. Theoretically, a radiation null in the broadside direction of these antennas exists. The main idea of this study is to use a cover or coating layer to convert this null to a peak in the radiation pat...
